THE THIRD. R
W. FL. PlDkham's Stable and Work Shop
q up In Smoke-Two Horses and q Lo,
of Merchandise Burned.

W. FL. PiDkham's stable and Work shop
go mp I'm S~moke-rwo Horses and q Lo,
Of Merchandise Burned.
A little after midnight last night q heavy
smoke dri;ted in on West broadway, in
the neighborhood oi The MINER Office
and people ran about aimles>ly,
yelling fire." Several pistol shots were
fired, and n crowd soon collected.
A woman on Utah street discovered that
the smoke came from beyond the Opera
House. and notified the crowd. who rushed
around the corne and saw flames bursting
from the rear of w. II. Pinkbam's stable,
in the end next to the alley. The Fire
Brigade aud Fire Department were soon on
on the ground Keeling off the hose, but the
fire looked pretty hot befor the water was
turned on. However. after q couple OF
streams had been played on it for q few
minutes, nll was n ,kncss, aud the crowd
scattered. believing that the FIRE was ex-
tiDguished. In d few minutes, however. it
burst out all along tho roof Of the sta bic
and the workshop in resr OF the store
while clouds OF a dense, suffocating smoke
rolled cut. 1t seemed has there was to
be q conf1agration, and crowds OF the
spectators turned in and moved Mr.. Pink.
ha ms stock OF furniture out to the oppo.
site sid OF Park street. The two fire COM
panies redoublcd their efforts; two more
line OF hose we're laid from :he hydrant on
the corner OF Main and Broadway, and
after o hard struggle the store buildings
were saved, but not before the crowd had
broken the windows OF Fswler's gun shop
and moved out the contents. a lot OF.
crockery in crates and other inflammable,
stuff that was stored in Mr.. Pink
hams rear building, still fed the
flames, that in spite of the
foods Of water poured in from the four
~nozzles, burst out every few moments. A
COW esca ped from the alta bic soon after the
fire started, bnt two horses were burnsd in
their stalls. Mr.. Pinkham cannot yet
estimate his loss of goods burned in the
rear buildings, and damaged in moving, but
~rejoices in the fact that it is fully covered
by insurance. 1t was a bad nest oil build
ings for a FIRE to start ia. and the fire com
panies deserve great credit for combining it
as they did. As we go to press they are
still drenching the debris.

REVENUE AND THE SURPLUS.

TAKEN as n fair average Of party sentiment
on tho subject OF revenue reduction, ths
Issue is pretty clearly defined. Democrats
wan to reduce the tarif on those imports
which come under the determination OF til;
neceesaries of life, while the Republicans
want to reduce internal revenue taxation
which is mostly levied on Injuries. In
Any ease the surplus now on hand OF &217,.

duction OF SIC, 000,0 900 In taxation, by at
least $50. coo, 900. possibly more, and the
disposal OF this enormous hoard OF
money at present lying idle

certain to create oppceition to any bill

IT SHOULD BE REPEALED.

The Helena Board OF Trade on Friday
last took action on the alien land act
which should be followed by our own Board
Of Trade ct their next meeting by taking
similar action. There are very few people IN.
acquainted with the injurious effect OF that
act upon the development Of the mineral
resources OF tho West. The subject has
bsen diiated upon in the columns OF every
parer in the section OF country affected
ty the passage OF that act and the act
itseIi condemned for not discriminating in
it's provisions against alien ownership OF
land in this country in favor of the unde-
velored mineral regions in this and other
Territories and States. Every foreign
capitalist who has been interviewed makes
the iuvariah!s reply to inquiries that NO
foreign capital will be invested in mining
enterprise in this country as long as the
act stands in present shape. The enor-
mons extent OF the mineral region as yet
undevclopcd, it is uRivorsally conceded.
affords opportunity for the investment OF
far moro capital than our own citizens can
ever command. It il also conceded that the
development OF these regions by foreign CAPT.
tails, iarfrom being inimical to this country,
a positive advantage in the employment
thereby given to our hardy mining popular
ton. Although the profits OF the invest.
ment 90 to a foreign country, this country
10 the gamer from the fact that the invest
ment remains here and is q permanent ad-
dition to the country's resources. There
are no vast tracts bought up by foreign
spectators to DO held from the occupa-
ton OF the settler. The wages OF miners
and the expenditure icr plant and supplies
are paid out here before q cent OF profit
leaves the country. The field of operation
is 80 extensive that it cannot DO exhausted
f.r q period beyond calculation. Every
moderation that cal be adduced is In ia
vor Of the removal OF the existing restric-
acns contained in the alien land act, and
the Board Of Trade OF Helena has set a
good example that should be followed by
similar bodies all over the territory the
development OF whose mineral resources is
thus retarded. 1t ia q subject On which
the Butte Board OF Trade should formu.
late a petition to Congress At
it, next meeting. There is NO
section In the West that is
more keenly interested in tho repeal oithat
measure than the immediate neighborhood
OF Butts and We look to our Board of
Trade to put itself in line with the Helena
Board il q strong memorial to Congress
for the repeal Of the provisions OF the act
in 80 far as they affect ownership in mines
and mineral lands.

BUTTE As A JOBBING CENTER.

With the advent OF the new roads com
ING here and projected, the merchants o.
Butte may as we'll waken up TO the realiza
ton OF the inevitable fact that this city
10 destined to be a jobbing center for q
large extent OF country. In one particu'
lar at least, Butte OF right ought now to
have the control OF a branch Of trade
that it should be able to supply. Hy'
draul;c mining is destined to play an i'm
portant part in this Territory in
the e future. There are many
places in the Territory where
rich results will be realized from hydraulic
mining. We're it known that in Butte there
we're dcpots where all kinds of hydraulic
machinery could be selected from, many
who are now deferred by tho trouble and
expense OF sending to Chicago and San
Francisco for what they need would be
adding to the resources OF the Territory
in that branch OF mining. The additional
railroad facilities soon to be enjoyed will
enable those dealing in these articles
to bring here large stocks Of
all kinds OF mining machinery
which will make Butte tho h~eadqrarters
for these goods in all parts OF the Territory
and including the Ceur d'Alcne region.
which is now only IL it's infancy. OF course
this trade could not be secured or obtained
without active efforts and close competi.
ton in prices with San Francisco and Chi.
cago. Bat Butte has the whiphand over
these places in proximity to the field OF op.
erations, and this il everything where a
man contemplating investment in goods OF
that description has the opportunity
Of selecting from stocks personally. 1t is
not alone in machinery that the opportu-
nifty for making this a jobbing center will
lie. Every branch of merchandise should
be represented here in q Wholesale way.
But to realize the full benefit of this, it
will be necessary to figure on much closer
margins than Butte men have been accus-
toned to. The very facilities for procur-
ing large stocks at low rates OF freight
which the advent here OF new lines will
be certain to bring with them
will enable Eastern drummere
to lay their goods down at
the retail dealers door Mt q low figure.
This should not deter merchants in Butte
from rising to the necessities of the situa-
ton and meeting Eastern competition on its
own ground. Ii the men who are here do
not reap the advantage whi'o they may,
a be little doubt that outsiders will
not be slow to do so, With the advent OF
railroads, competition il bound
to come in and take the business from those
who will not bend to the inevitable.
